+AddressSanitizer (ASAN) has a custom version of `operator new` and `operator delete` that it uses to find more allocation errors like [`alloc_dealloc_mismatch`](error-alloc-dealloc-mismatch.md). Running the linker with [`/INFERASANLIBS`](../build/reference/inferasanlibs.md) ensures that ASAN's `new`/`delete` override has low precedence, so that the linker chooses any `operator new` or `operator delete` overrides in other libraries over ASAN's custom versions. When this happens, ASAN may not be able to catch some errors that rely on its custom `operator new` and `operator delete`.
